VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [Ch. 3 Full] [Oceanlab]

[Rajesh Ram]

Bro, weren't you the guy who threatened BaDIK thread that you won't play BaDIK until they give you a decent amount of MILFs? And they recommended Wendy, Dani, Minnie, Linda and Stanley to you? Indeed, Stanley has the hottest boobs approved by Derek! And you suddenly ended up here.
It seems they've pranked you again. Ocean games, Where It All Began and Summer's Gone, are great and have the hottest female characters imho, but no sex scenes yet other than Miru in WIAB. And these games are slow-burn and story-based, so if you're more interested in steamy sex scenes than story, this probably isn't your cup of tea.

There was so many haha reacts on that comment so I thought he was lying that's why I didn't play Being dik,

In one of the thread they recommend this WIAB saying it has best MILF scene , This Game looks good but there was no scene at all ,

Thanks for suggestion I will try them one by one.

Where should a new player begin? 0.6? Or Chapter 2?

Don't bother with 0.6 (it's before the remake) unless you have a thing for poor graphics and plot holes so big that you can fly an A380 through.

There are plot holes. Completely open-ended parts of the story are left to be (un)told. But I enjoyed many parts of the old story. It is worth a playthrough, in my opinion.

Hello,

1. Workstation

TLR at the end of the text.
Over the past weeks, I had a back-and-forth with the Nvidia tech support & also did a lot of research to see if memory pooling would still work through PCI-E, etc.
Nada... "Hey, let's charge almost 10,000€ for a GPU that can't even pool its memory like the predecessor."
That's pretty much the only reason why I want the A6000/Pro Cards.
But it's not going to happen with this GEN.
So I reconsidered and I'm doing the following now:
Instead of a Workstation with 2xA6000 ADA, I'm getting a custom-built workstation with 4x4090.
And on top of that, an A6000 (Old Gen).
I already have an old Gen A6000, and adding another with a NvLink will give me roughly 96GB VRAM.
I'd say 70% of my scenes can be rendered with 24GB. 30% need more than that. (Exceptions are updates like CH6 SG, which is 80% far above 24GB.)
So, I will have one PC with 2xA6000 Old Gen, that only renders the big scenes. (Every single update will have them.)
Meanwhile, the 4x4090 Workstation is going to render everything else.
And it's not just the raw speed of the GPU that's going to matter...
A good friend of mine is rendering on a 4090, and while he showed me a few animations, I noticed how fast they were rendering... But not because of the Cuda cores... But because of how fast the 4090 slurped the textures & other thingies into the memory.
Between each frame is a pause where the GPU loads all the textures & info into the memory... And while I created the Tabletop animations, this pause could take up to five minutes. (Before every single frame.)
This took longer than the actual rendering part & is also the reason why you never got a yoga/stretching cinematic in Chapter 3x5... As each memory loading pause took 15min and I abandoned it.
So it appears that it would also speed up animations by A LOT.
But I first have to test it, and then I can show you some graphs.
Oh, the custom Workstation (water-cooled GPUs) is also almost 8000€ cheaper than the previous double A6000 ADA Workstation.)
Both games would be made on both PCs. No more designated PCs. Both games are going to enjoy the fruits and WIAB won't face any downtime due to VRAM issues.
I can't get the workstation yet and have to wait for the Steam release, as you know, my old tax office hasn't submitted my 2021 numbers yet, and atm I wouldn't even get a loan for 2000€.
With the 5000 series GEN, I'll take another look at the Pro cards... But I need that scaleable VRAM.

TLR: Instead of a Workstation with 2xA6000s ADA, I get a custom Workstation with 4x4090 & a separate old Gen A6000 to upgrade my current WiAB PC to 96GB VRAM. New Workstation is almost 9000€ cheaper. Still can't get it before Steam, tho. Both Games would be made on both PCs. WIAB won't face any downtime.

2. Status of Chapter 3
CH3 is coming along great.
I still need to render ~400 renders. (96 of them are currently in the queue, and ~300 need to be set up.)
I've already started with postwork, and as soon as I have around 500 renders done in post, I will start testing.
We're getting pretty close now.

bro no one gives a fk about your stupid graphics card, the consumers or more importantly the patrons want results and progress not 2 pages how you explain what graphics card is better.. geez4

You're complaining cause Ocean is trying to be transparent about what's going on, and if he didn't post this somebody else would be bitching cause he's 'keeping patrons and consumers in the dark', so there's never a win-win situation here.

For what I've noticed the majority of people likes to know about this stuff though (sometimes they even learn a thing or 2 about it). But being an absolute brat just cause YOU don't like explanations is something else.

this dev complains about needing money and loans to buy some important piece of hardware all the time, he says it'll help him speed up the rendering process, he's been saying it for years, he keeps raising the bar for what he needs to buy, but his update output remains forever slow.

He isn't complaining about it, he's telling what his plan is to reinvest the income from SG (ch5) and WiAB (ch3) Steam release.
And if you had any reading comprehension you would understand he's actually lowering the bar and switching solutions compared to his original one. And he's doing that precisely to explain his patrons what he plans to do to tackle the long dev time.

yeah, yeah, promises, promises, he said same thing when he needed money for animation software to speed up animations, update takes just as long to release. Before that he said "when I get X amount of money I'll buy a new video card which will help me dish out an update every 6 months, I promise" and here we are, he got the money he wanted, but the promise was broken.

But please, continue with the ass kissing, don't let me stop you.

Also, his problem isn't better hardware, he could easily buy new pc, simple fix, it's his meandering, he at some point delayed update for a month or two cause he couldn't find the music he wanted. There's always something with him that compels him to delay the release, always.

He literally never said any of that, but yeah don't let facts keep you from spinning your narrative.

You know what pisses me off?
If you follow the development of these games you never know what's going on in the development side. You never know what's happening right now, what the plans for the future are.
Then you have Ocean that's open to a fault. He says what's working, what's not, what he's trying to do even if sometimes it doesn't work, where he spent his supporters money and where he plans to spend the incoming one.

Then there're <REDACTED> like you that are just waiting to use all of that against him.
And that's why today in AVN we don't have release dates anymore. Why we don't even have release windows, why we know literally nothing of what's going on.

...he could easily buy new pc, simple fix...

Yeah, so could I, if only I had a spare EUR 6,000-10,000 laying round to buy something appropriately spec'ed. I wish real life was as easy and simple as you claim.

You may be right, but there is also the problem that unfortunately, for the ambitious renders Ocean makes, he needs an insanely expensive PC. Especially since the Iray scam is based on not allowing you to use the system RAM to load the scenes, so you're limited to the RAM of the videocard. To my shock, ever since upgrading to Windows 10 I can't render scenes I used to be able to render in Windows 8 since the OS uses half of my 4 GB VRAM. Loading a portrait of Victoria 9 and a hair piece fucking required 7,9 GB of RAM. IOW a card with 8 GB is not even enough anymore, especially if new models are going to be using 8000 pixel textures (they are now at 4000). Add to that HD geometry and the environments and you're sure to need a big card. The only cards that have a reasonable price are the 12 GB ones.

 

[rerderrum]

Yeah, so could I, if only I had a spare EUR 6,000-10,000 laying round to buy something appropriately spec'ed. I wish real life was as easy and simple as you claim.

And then pay the electricity bill of like 300Euros, if not more, every month for that single PC. I pay 70 and have one PC with a 970 that runs maybe 6-8 hours a day on average, still I had to pay another 500 last month because I used too much. The prices in germany are ludicrous since a few years.

For the GPU price Ocean wanted to buy, you can buy a car.
And German bureaucracy says hi. (about the loan)
